PCOS isn’t just a “young woman’s issue”. Many women are diagnosed with PCOS after 35 or find their old symptoms from their 20s showing up in new ways. In this episode, I sit down with a PCOS nutritionist to talk about what PCOS looks like in your 30s and 40s, how it affects hormones, fertility, and mental health, and most importantly how to heal at this stage of life.

We cover:

-Why PCOS after 35 is often missed or misdiagnosed

-How healing in your 30s and 40s looks different than in your 20s

-Nutrition and lifestyle strategies that actually work

-Common myths about PCOS (dairy, carbs, weight loss)

-The connection between PCOS, mental health, and perimenopause

My guest Vidhi Chawla is a dedicated and experienced nutritionist specializing in the field of Diet and Nutrition. With over a decade of experience, she has transformed the lives of more than 5,000 individuals through her innovative FISICO 360 program which emphasizes a healthy body, lifestyle, and mindset.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s “too late” to start healing PCOS, this episode is for you.

When someone you love is struggling with addiction, it can feel like you're walking on eggshells- worried, confused and unsure what to say or do. In this episode, we’re talking honestly about how to spot the early signs of addiction, what not to ignore and how families can offer support without losing themselves in the process.

My guest Vandana Hiranandani is the founder of Anatta Humaniversity, a luxury residential rehabilitation center specializing in holistic, client-specific, and non-medical approaches to recovery from addiction to drugs, alcohol, and other substances.

Together, we’re unpacking what addiction can look like behind closed doors because it’s not always what you think. We’re also diving into healthy boundaries, emotional burnout and the small ways families can play a powerful role in a loved one’s recovery journey.

Whether you're a parent, partner, sibling or friend- this one’s for you. No shame. No judgment. Just real talk and practical help.

Fashion is not just about trends or shopping- it’s about power, identity, and how women are allowed to show up in the world. In this episode, we explore how fashion intersects with feminism: from body image and beauty standards to queer representation, gender expression and how motherhood changes our relationship with clothes.

Our guest, Anuja Mathur, Founder & Editor-in-Chief of Popp Dapp magazine shares how the industry is shifting (and where it’s still stuck), why visibility isn’t always representation and how real women can reclaim fashion on their own terms.

Whether you love sarees, suits, or stretchy pants with- this conversation is for you.

No one tells you that your body might still look pregnant weeks or even months after giving birth. Or that the pressure to "bounce back" can feel louder than your own intuition. In this candid conversation, Maitri sits down with a postpartum fitness expert to unpack the shame, myths and silent grief many women feel in their bodies after motherhood.

I’m talking to Postpartum Core Specialist Darshika Gupta and we will not talk about six-packs and step goals but about the shame, the silence and the straight-up lies we’re fed about our bodies after motherhood.

This one’s for every woman who’s ever looked in the mirror and thought, ‘Why do I feel like a stranger in my own skin?’

Let’s unpack the pressure, untangle the guilt, and start rewriting the story- from punishment to power.

Remember that you don’t need to shrink to feel strong. A must-listen for new moms, tired moms and anyone questioning the “bounce back” narrative.

201 episodes in, I’m hitting pause — not to look back with nostalgia, but to share what’s actually stayed with me.

In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on the lessons I’ve learned about women, personal growth, and the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up-  in life, in motherhood and on this mic. From what I thought mattered at the start to what truly does now.

Whether you’ve been here since episode 1 or just found this podcast, this is a heartfelt little thank-you — to the version of me who began, and to you, for listening.

Feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or just a little lost in the noise? In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet magic of stepping away. My guest Richa Tiwari organizes women-only trips, and together we explore why taking a break without guilt isn’t selfish, it’s survival. From the mental load to mom guilt, we unpack what really happens when women just go.

Richa is the founder and fellow traveler at ‘Travel Like Her’, a women-centric, community-driven travel company. Built on the values of curiosity, connection, and breaking free, it encourages more women to explore meaningfully, spotlighting stories of inspiring local women along the way.

We’re talking about something the world always needs more of—kindness. But not in a preachy, Pinterest-quote way. My guest today actually builds kindness into her business. She creates products and services that quietly nudge people to be just a little softer, a little more thoughtful, a little more human.

I am speaking with Tenaz Shanice Cardoz. Inspired by the need for a kinder place, Tenaz started Kind Hearts Brigade as a space to empower people to be kind in easy ways. Through her experience in working as a marketing professional, or even observing people, she was inspired to create easy to access tools to enable people to be kinder to themselves and to people around them.

In this episode, we chat about what it really means to live kindly, the messy and magical ways kindness shows up in real life, and how small acts can ripple into something much bigger. Whether you’re having a good day or a really rough one, this conversation might just make you smile at a stranger today.

TW- this episode contains reference to suicide.

Today’s episode is for every woman who has ever said, ‘I’m just not the creative type’ or maybe used to be, but somehow, between school runs, work stress, and laundry mountains, creativity got shoved into a dusty corner.

But guess what? Creativity isn't just for artists. It’s a mental health tool, a mini rebellion against the hustle, and honestly, sometimes it's just doodling on your grocery list because your brain needs a breather.

My guest Rupambika Khandai gets that so deeply. She’s a graphic designer turned founder of India’s first creative wellness and self care brand Twillostory. They create thoughtfully designed products and tools, full of ideas and inspiration to help you slow down, unplug and use creative expression as a way to live a more mindful, creative and fulfilling life.

So if you’re feeling a little creatively constipated, or just need a fresh perspective on self-care that doesn’t involve bubble baths you’re gonna love this chat. Very importantly, though there’s some difference between being artistic and being creative and we have talked about it in the conversation but we have used these terms interchangeably too out of habit.

Please help me bring more such conversations to you, subscribe to Little fixes on YT and follow us on your podcast app.
